New compact SUV coming this year.
The next generation version of the Mahindra Bolero was caught undergoing real world testing in Koyembedu, Chennai.
In terms of design, the new set of photos, much like the previous shots show a stubby back, a Mahindra XUV500-aping grille, an external spare wheel, and a boxy shape.
In terms of engines, the vehicle is expected to use new 1.5-litre or 1.6-litre powerplants, while it's still going to be based on a body-on-frame setup. The chassis, like the new Scorpio, will be hydroformed, so the new Bolero is expected to have better road manners than before, according to reports.
